Chris Hughton – Players Focused For Saturday

It looks like both Jose Enrique, who has a hamstring injury and Jonas Gutierrez will miss the game against Hull City on Saturday, a game we must win.

Chris Hughton – will have players ready for Hull game

Jose Enrique picked up a hamstring injury against Arsenal and he will be out for a couple of weeks still.

Chris Hughton, who has taken over the first team in tandem with Richard Money said today:

“As far as training is concerned this week the players have been very professional. There is a lot of experience in the squad, and in the circumstances the training has been very good.”

“They have been in football long enough to accept that things have to continue and you make sure you focus on getting ready for the next game and try to win it.

“We appreciate that things may be difficult for the fans at the moment, but one thing Newcastle fans are renowned for is their support of the team and this is what they will give the players on Saturday.”

We’re not sure what the team will be on Saturday, but in their last game Hull were hammered at home 5-0 by Wigan, so there’s a good chance we can get a good win on Saturday. If Keegan was still here, we could have even looked forward to hammering Hull, which may still happen of course.

And we know the fans will give Chris and Richard Money, as well as all the players of course, their full support for the game. It’s the club the fans are against, not the team, the players or the coaches.

seriously i am a hull city season ticket holder (newcastle r my second team) and i really belive we will get something out of the game we hav all our players back even though we lost 5 0 against wigan we had a championship side out as all our players were injured but now we hav boeteng gardener king bak and also zayatte should be playin i think we wiill hav a chance with all the goings on

Like to see Nacho play the role Owen did at the end of last season, and let Owen play off of Xisco up front. With Jonas being injured, as well as Duff and Lua Lua, I’d rather go 4-3-3 then 4-4-2 with Geremi playing right wing!!

Subs: Harper, Cacapa, Geremi, Smith, Ranger, Edgar, Donaldson

Is Martins fit yet? He was called up by Nigeria wasn’t he? If so I’d bench him and give him 20 mins.

if the march is well supported that will get some good coverage in the press and its nice to see comments from Shay G. i hope the players voice concern as well. still good luck to the team but i can never go to another game while the people in charge take the piss out the people like me (Goerdie Fans)

Ed ! ! PLEASE PLEASE take the fat face of Ashley off the top of this website. I fear I may end breaking my monitor otherwise. Even a picture of the devil or 2 fat hairy lasses kissing would be better that that fat sh&*e.

Remember lads. PLEASE voice our opinions this weekend in a calm manner but NO violence. We are already a lughing stock..lets not give them southern shandy swigging puffs something else to f*%^ing whinge about…

Tom the predicted team i posted on here for the game against Hull was exactly the same as yours minus jonas (as i didnt realise he was injured). I would have had guthrie on his own in the middle (Barton if it were possible) with Butt on the bench… It’d be risky starting both the new boys but they sound like quality footballers who may rise well to the pressure….i’d play nacho behind xisco and owen as well cos he could potentially play the role rooney played for england last night.. also with xisco’s (supposed) pace and height combined with owen’s pace and all round finishing quality, they could be a threatening pair…atleast capable of giving Hull’s back four a good run around…

depressing as it is hull could get something out of this game. i can see this being similar to the bolton game,big physical team etc 10 men behind the ball etc,newcastle not having enough creativity about them to break them sorry.

health update

7th August, 2017

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in February 2017 and started hormone treatment back on 6th March and chemotherapy infusions on 13th April.

I completed the chemotherapy treatments on July 27th and am currently recovering from the sometimes massive side effects of the chemo.

The next step is to have another cat scan in early October to gauge my current medical condition following chemotherapy.

At that time we will work out what comes next.

While there’s no cure for stage 4 cancer there are treatments to prolong life

I'll do my very best in the coming months to fight this with everything I have.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
